[Nolan] Come on, Dad.
You have to find it.

Orion should be right there.

The belt stars burn blue-white
at 30,000 degrees.

Betelgeuse is Orion's shoulder.

Red. 3,500 degrees.

[chuckles]
I'm trying my best here, Nolan.

They all look the same to me.

Dad! It's where the UFOs are.

It's not just UFOs, son.

I rented an RV for this.

I know how much
you love vehicles.
Tonight's gonna be fun!

You said
that we would see a UFO.

Uh, I-I said we'd try.

[rumbling in distance]

Aliens!

I wanna go see.

- Nolan, stop!
- No. Don't touch me!

How do you always
get away from me?

The weakest part of your grip
is where the fingers meet

and the thinnest part
of my wrist

is at the thumb side.

I can escape easily
with a wrist rotation
and a pivot.

Come on, Dad!
Can we go see the lights?

Please!

[eerie music playing]

[Dad] Okay.

Just stay behind me. All right?

I don't know what it is,
let's keep our distance.

Come on.

Stay close to me, Nolan.

[Nolan] I knew
we'd see aliens tonight!

[Dad] Shh, shh!

Whatever is out there...

we don't want to scare it.

I wanna see.
I wanna see aliens.

Ow! Don't.

Run.

Nolan! Run!

[dramatic music playing]

[opening theme music playing]

[chuckles]

- I cannot believe that.
- I'm serious.

Hi, Ronnie.

You're right. He does look like
the Old Spice commercial.

- Thanks.
- The body spray.

Not the stuff
you put on the loofah.

I told ya so.

How can I help you, Ronnie?

I'm shocked you're still here.

Y-You're shocked
I'm still here?

I'm shocked you're here.
What are you doing here?

You're obviously not cleaning.
What is she doing here?

I'm not. I'm gone.

[chuckles] Bye.

Always great
to see you, Ronnie.

Look, I think you've upset her.

- I upset her?
- Mm-hmm!

And I would be careful
if I were you.

She is rooting for
the pool boy to win me over.

Oh, is that, uh, Six-Pack Jack?

He's flirting with you again?
I'll kill 'im.

Uh, it's "Jacques,"
and he has an eight-pack.

Here. It's done.

I see you're changing
the subject.

We'll get back to Jack later.

Um, how does this work?

It's a RAT,
remote-access trojan.

You upload the file,
and I will get a C2 channel

that hides
under maintenance diagnostics.

Fantastic.
You wanna try that in English?

Put that into Braun's computer

and I will get to see
everything he's trying to hide.

Fantastic.

Now, you sure
that you want to do this?

I mean, spying on your boss,

you could get into
some pretty big trouble.

Right. Well, technically,

you're gonna be the one
spying on my boss,

so I'm not
too worried about it.

You know what I mean.

Look, he is coming at us
very aggressively. All right?

Um, he's hiding something.

You tellin' me
this little thing's

gonna tell us what that is?

Yeah.

Good.

Yeah, I know.

All right. All you gotta do

is get this
in Braun's computer.

All I have to do?

It's gotta be you.

Hey, in case you forgot,
I'm getting married tomorrow.

I understand,

but if we figure out
what Braun is hiding,

then we got him.
You understand?

All right.
What happens if I get caught?

He already banished me
to Homicide.

That's why it's gotta be you.

Because he banished me
to Homicide,

his office
is on Homicide's floor,

nobody's gonna question
why I'm there.

All right, yeah.
It's gotta be me.

[Jason] All right.
How you gonna
get into his office?

I mean, getting in,
that's not a problem.

It's keeping Braun out,
that's what I'm worried about.

Leave that to me.

Captain Batista.

There's a woman here
who needs to file a report.
Troopers brought her in.

Thank you.

- All right. I'm gonna
need your help on this.
- I got you.

We're all in this
together, okay?

Yeah, we better be,
because once we do this,
there is no going back.

Are you sure
you're okay with this?

[Kemi] Let's give them
a moment alone.

Look. Braun took the gloves off
when he transferred me, okay?

He's going down.

Just be a lot better
if tomorrow wasn't, you know--

The most important day
of our lives? I know.

But we got this.

Yeah, we do.

[woman] Paul and Nolan
went camping last night.

They saw something
in the woods,

and Paul went to investigate,
and Nolan said that he...

he had to run for his life.

Run from what?

He didn't see, just...

just a green light.

Paul sent Nolan back to the RV,

and when he didn't come back
in the morning,

Nolan said that he had
to drive himself to find help.

Nolan can drive?

[Sarah] He likes cars,

so Paul's been teaching him
how to drive,

just-just GoKarts and ATVs.
[chuckles softly]

When he's interested
in something,

Nolan picks it up
really quickly.

Eventually,
he veered off the road,

and a state trooper found him.

Mm. You're very brave.

He has autism,
so he has trouble
communicating.

Paul's been
trying everything he can
to try and bond with him,

driving lessons and car shows.

Camping trips.

They were stargazing.

No! We were hunting aliens.

Did you say aliens?

Nolan, what did we talk about?

You like that light, huh?

[Sarah] He's fascinated
by light.

He could tell you
the color temperature
of every single star.

It's pretty much
all he talks about.

Cars, light...

and aliens.

That one is 2,500 degrees
instead of 2,700.

Nolan, you can see that?

It's going to burn out.

The woods glowed green.

It was scary.

They took my dad.

[crackle-pop]

Get Jason
and check out that RV.

[ominous music playing]

[Jason] I'm tellin' you,
I saw a UFO.

This guy next to me
is honking his horn

like a walrus in heat,

and then Bellisario's
screaming "look up."

I look up, okay?

I see something
zig-zag across the sky.

I don't know what it is,
I checked flight plans,
off-book sources.

Nothing! No record!

Unidentified!

I saw an Unidentified
Flying Object.

- I saw a UFO!
- All right, slow down.

Slow down. So you don't believe
in past lives,

but you do believe
in little green men?

Green men? No.

I believe in sexy pink ladies
with pointy ears.

Anyway, you think Paul Miller
got overwhelmed with his kid
and took off?

Hmm, maybe.

Okay, so this kid
was here alone last night.

He drove this boat
into a ditch,

and then we don't know
where he started.

Right. And we have no idea

where our missing person
disappeared.

That's 30,000 acres of forest.
That's too much for a manhunt.

Okay, so let's just
narrow the search down.

Okay, what do we got? We got...

We got a kid
who is obsessed with aliens.

- Yes.
- Like, heavy.

We have an RV rental agreement
that was dated yesterday.

Yep. Oh!

And there goes our theory
that Paul ditched his boy.

Come look at this.

Ahem.

Paul's wallet?

- Yep.
- With some green weirdness.

You're telling me
you don't believe in aliens?

[ominous music playing]

Where am I?

Where's Nolan?

[roars] Where's my son?

No, no, no!

- [knocks]
- [Kemi] Nik?

Hey. Did you get anything
at the RV?

Okay, so Paul's wallet
was left behind,

so we don't think that he ran.

But there was
a strange substance
on the wallet.

Helen is analyzing it.

That's not enough.

We need to find out where
Paul and Nolan were camping

before we can even
start the search.

And since Nolan moved the RV
from the campsite,

it-it's gonna be challenging.

Maybe we need to work it
from the other direction.

There was a rental agreement
in the RV

that puts Paul
in Philly yesterday.

If I can retrace his steps,

maybe it'll lead us
to the campsite
where he disappeared.

Whatever happened,

this man's family
needs him back.

- Issue the Alert.
- Yeah.

[missing alert begins blaring]

[alert blaring]

[dramatic music playing]

[Kemi] Hey, Helen.

Hey.

The slimy substance
you found on the wallet

was tetraborate-decahydrate
polyvinyl acetate.

Okay. That sounds like
it's from outer space.

Outer space? I wish! Heh!

It's just basic slime,
like kids make in preschool.

Please tell me
you didn't just say

"I wish
it was from outer space"?

You're not one of
those ET fanatics, too?

I wouldn't say "fanatic,"

but I definitely leave room

for the possibility
of life beyond Earth.

But you're a scientist.

How can you believe in aliens
with no evidence?

The ingredients of life

are common
throughout the universe,

hydrogen, oxygen and carbon.

And Earth can't be
completely unique

among the 100 billion stars

in each of
the 100 billion galaxies.

With that many variants,

life must have
formed elsewhere,

just like it formed here.

[whispers]
Aliens must be out there.

Science almost guarantees it.

[Helen chuckles]

Well, I'm frightened.
Thank you.

What's not to like
about aliens?

[Jason] Nik,
just stay off my case.

Please! Just stay off my case!

[quirky music playing]

Sorry, man. My bad, my bad.

You got a lot of nerve,
asking me back up here.

You said it was an emergency?

[elevator bell dings]

[shuts door softly]

Look.

I know that things got heated
the last time that we spoke,

but you are still my boss,

and I have a problem.

What is it?

[intense music playing]

[security panel beeps]

The father of
a neurodivergent child

went missing
in 30 square miles of forest,

and I just don't have
the manpower for the search,

especially since
you transferred
Sergeant Sherman.

I warned you.
You should've listened.

Just hear me out, Hollis. Okay?

You don't like
what I have to say,

you have my word
I will never say it again.

Okay?

[shutter snapping]

This is a question
of resources.

We need to find this man,
and my people are doing
the best they can, but--

That's where you're wrong,
right there, Nikki.

They're not your people.
They're my people.

Excuse me?

[Braun] I'm in charge

and I have documented
your inability to accept that.

Breach after breach
after breach.

So, let me say it plainly.

I am done with Jason Grant
and I am done with you.

Is that clear enough for you?

Crystal.

It'll be by the book,

but I'm gonna do
everything in my power

to end your tenure at the MPU,

and Grant's at Philly PD.

- You're done.
- Braun.

Braun? Inspector!

Hey!

- [phone buzzes]
- Yeah?

[Nikki] Braun is on
his way down.

Please tell me
that you're outta there.

Almost.

Stall him.

I'll send Jason.

[elevator bell dings]

[door rumbling]

[door closes]

[tense music playing]

[snapping]

[elevator thumps and lurches]

Actually something
I've been meaning
to talk to you about.

Yeah, what?

Um... tch.

I know you have
everybody fooled,

thinking that you are
a good guy,

but you're not a good guy,
are you?

You really don't like your job,
do you, Detective?

Yeah, you know,

you're hiding something,

and I'm gonna find out
what it is,

because that's what I do.

You understand?

Usually, I find people,
but for you,

I'm gonna make an exception.

- Uh-huh?
- Yeah.

[Mike] Come on.

Come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on.

See, the thing is, Jason...

Mm-hmm?

See, I've got the ear
of the Commissioner, the Mayor,

and they are both very clear

that your entire department
is on thin ice.

Oh, don't make it
about the department.

It's not about the department.
It's not about MPU.

It's about you and me.

You had a beef with me
the second I walked
through that door.

So I'm just curious,
why is that?

Are you afraid of me?

You're afraid of me,
aren't you?

When this thing
comes to a head--

- Mm-hmm?
- Oh, man, and it will--

- Mm-hmm.
- I want you
to remember something.

Yeah? Tell me.

[clicks switch back]

You started this.

I know.

Now get out of my way.

Hey, Inspector.

Everything good?

You get your buddy
off of my floor.

Yes, sir.

That was fun.

My man.

[beep]

Copy that.

- Kemi?
- Yeah?

Mike did it.

Wayne has access
to Braun's system.

Geez.

And not a moment too soon.

I just got a credible hit
off of the alert.

Paul Miller
got into a fight yesterday,

and you're never
gonna guess where.

[supernatural music playing]

You haven't
seen this guy at all?

No? Great. Thanks.

Thank you.

- Okay.
- Any luck?

No, uh, but I'm pretty sure
you can find

one of your
sexy pink alien ladies
with pointy ears here.

You think Wayne would be into
an extra-terrestrial throuple?

- That's funny. That's good.
- I really couldn't say that
I'm sorry.

So one of these whackjobs here
saw Paul and his kid yesterday?

Yeah, they didn't give a name,
but, yes, they reported

that there was
some sort of altercation.

- All right, let's keep going.
- All right.

[man] Authentic alien ooze!

Limited supply!

Direct from another galaxy!

Does that ooze
look familiar to you?

Yeah. Helen said
that it was slime,

like kids make
in elementary school.

Uh-oh.

Don't let the government
dupe you!

They've been hiding
an alien presence

here on Earth for years!

- [thud]
- [crash]

[upbeat music playing]

[Jason] Hey, Philly PD!
Move out of the way!

Out of the way! Make room!

[man] I won't be silenced!

[woman yelps]

[Jason yelling]
Outta the way! Outta the way!

Now what?

Okay. That's enough.

[Kemi] Freeze!.

- [pop]
- [Taser crackling]

[Jason] Okay, folks.
Move along.

Philadelphia PD, everybody.
Everything's fine.

[onlookers murmuring]

[Jason] Come on, you, get up.

Who are you
and why did you run?

I j-- you guys
don't know who I am?

I'm Terrance.
Hashtag "TerranceTruth"?

Uh, whatever. Okay.

Have you ever seen this guy,
right here?

W-W-Wait.

This isn't about my website,
"Truth by Terrance"?

No, this is about
a missing person.

So, we understand
that you got
into an altercation

with Paul Miller yesterday?

That guy?

Okay, fine. Look.

His kid opened up
a container of ooze. Right?

Once you open it up,
it's yours.

That's it, but the dad,
he got pissed off
about the price--

I'm just curious,
what is the price

of something
that you made for 13 cents?

It's $39.99.

Ugh. I don't like you.

Okay, great. Anyway.

Uh, he got it
all over his hands

and he started freaking out.

And I get it, okay?

I got a neurodivergent nephew.

I see what my sister
has to go through,

so I felt sorry for the guy
and I gave him his money back.

That's it.

Huh. Even gave him
a primo campsite
for UFO hunting.

Oh, that's good.
Where is this campsite?

Okay. Don't spread it around, please?

There is an Area 51
right outside the city.

"Philly 51."

Okay? So much UFO traffic,

it's like, uh, an ET airport.

The military has been trying
to cover it up for years.

- Yeah, Philly 51?
- Yeah. Look at these burns.

I got them from
the UFO-radiated creek water.

Where is the campsite?

Okay.

It's out by Ridley Creek.

Thank you.
Stay right there, don't move.

[Terrance] Can I at least--

You can do nothing!
Just stay there.

All right, Ridley Creek.

That's gotta be where
Paul went into the woods.

Look at those burns.

You gotta take Helen
to get some
creek-water samples,

but I'd set some ground rules
with her first.

No, no.
You guys are gonna bond.

It's gonna be
a great experience.
It's gonna be fantastic.

- Jason!
- No, no, no.
It's gonna be great!

- You're gonna have a blast.
- I hate you.

What are you hiding
behind all these firewalls?

Hello. What's this?

[dialing rapidly]

[line ringing]

Come on, Jay. Pick up.

[hangs up, dials again]

- [elevator bell dings]
- [phone buzzes]

One second. Hold on.

Hey, Wayne. What's up?
Everything okay?

Yeah, um, I just
couldn't get ahold of Jay

and he told me
to reach out to you.

I think I found
what Braun's been hiding.

All right, yeah,
what do you got?

The guy that's in jail
for Maritz's murder,
Logan Barlowe,

you guys think
he's a patsy, right?

I think
I found the real bomber.

[Kemi] Terrance said
this is where
he sent Paul and Nolan.

Thanks for bringing me
with you.

- Sure.
- I'm usually a lab rat,

but today I get to be
a field mouse!

Okay, no.
What was rule number two?

No singing?

That was rule number one.

- Oh... no puns.
- Bingo.

[softly] ♪ ...was his name-o ♪

Okay. I heard that.

- Okay.
- Wait a minute.

We got tire tracks.

Back there.

And a tripod!

Yeah, this must be the place.

Um...

They might've gone this way.
Let's try it.

Okay.

So I searched property records

based on what
Truther-Terrance told us,

and there is no "Area 51"
near Ridley Creek,

but there is a paper mill
half a mile north from here.

Uh, Rasp Pulp and Paper.

Why would Terrance think
a paper mill is Area 51?

Maybe because they wanted
to do everything they could
to stay off the grid.

About 20 years ago,

there was
an environmental protest

at the mill,

and it got out of hand

and one of
the mill workers died.

And then after that,

the mill disappears
from public databases,

scrubbed from
Internet searches.

I mean, the property records
require access codes.

They basically just disappeared
from public view.

So that's why
the UFO crowd thinks
this is another Area 51.

- I mean--
- Oh.

The... The alien guy said

the creek water
burned his hands, right?

Yeah. You need some help?

No, I am good.
I am fully prepared.

Ah, okay.

Ooh, look at those.

Bonkers.

[Helen chuckles]

Honk, honk. Honk, honk!

Oh, oh! Okay, yeah.

Yeah, you just stand back
and watch the expert.

- All right, standing back.
- Okay...

[Kemi] Have you
done this before?

- [Helen] Yes, I've done this.
- Uh-huh?

[Helen] Many, many,
many, many...

Just kidding.
I've done it once before.

Oh! Oh... just once?

- Yeah.
- Uno...

Ah. There you go.

I have to get this to the lab

to figure out
exactly what it is,

but there are
non-polar molecules in here

forming an emulsion.

Uh, so there's chemicals
in the water?

You... Kemi called it right.

- No.
- Get it?

- No.
-"Chemical." Kemi--

- No.
- Called?

Wait a minute, I got something.

All right, let's see.

Paul's telescope. It's smashed.

Maybe he used it
against his attacker.

"Rasp Pulp and Paper."

Okay.

So chemicals in the water...

and Paul's telescope.

Yeah, we gotta get
a search team
to that paper mill.

Captain Batista?

Sarah, did something happen?

Has there been any more
information about Paul?

No, there's nothing
to share yet,

but as soon as
I have something I will--

Okay, because, um, sometimes,

Nolan draws pictures
when he's upset.

[Nolan] It's last night.

The aliens.

Uh, so, I think, um,

that the baseball one
is about regret

because, uh,
Paul loves baseball and...

and Nolan's never been
interested and...

Paul's favorite player's
Nolan Ryan

and he insisted
that we name our son Nolan.

You got a new bulb.

Are there any more going out?

If you look at the pictures...

this is the green glow, right?

- That... that Nolan
told you about.
- Uh-huh.

But then, there's also
this purple light
that he never mentioned,

and, I don't know, I-I-I...

I thought that...
that that might help.

Hey, Nolan...

can you remember anything else?

Anything at all?

Okay, well, thank you so much
for bringing these in.

And. uh...

I'll be in touch.

I'm running out of air in here!

Please!

Help me!

[grunts]

Nolan!

Help!

Thanks for coming in, Mr. Rasp.

Um...

so, we searched the paper mill,

and, uh, looked in
every broom closet,
every chemical vat.

No... No Paul Miller.
Where's Paul Miller?

Sorry, Detective. I don't know.

I mean, I came in
of my own accord.

You have my full cooperation.

Anything we can do

to help with
your investigation, we'll do.

Great! Uh, we found,
um, a rag from your mill

down at the crime scene.

Well, you have
my employee records
and security footage,

but, I mean, we've been
a family-run business

since my grandpa founded us,

so I'd be shocked
if an employee had
anything to do with this.

That rag could've gotten
downstream any number of ways.

It could've.

We're actually
currently running samples
on the creek water,

uh, where Paul Miller
was taken.

I don't understand.

Okay, um, well,
here's what I think happened.

I think that Paul saw something
that he wasn't supposed to see.

What are you implying?

I think you know
what I'm implying.

That water's not right,
it burns,

and I'm gonna find out why.

We use an EPA-certified
wastewater treatment system
for our sludge disposal.

- My mill is clean.
- It better be.

It better be,
or you're in big trouble. Okay?

- You can go for now...
- [phone buzzing]

...till I find something
more actionable.

- [phone buzzing]
- [footsteps receding]

What's up?

[Mike] Yo, I've been
trying to reach you!
Wayne called me.

- What's going on? Is she okay?
- Yeah, she's fine.

Look, she found something.

Braun might not be the only cop

who's involved
in that Maritz bombing.

More cops?

Yeah, well, just one. Maybe.

But there's a witness report
that says there's a cop
from the EOD Unit

who was there
before the explosion happened.

What, you're saying
a bomb squad cop

was on the scene
before the car blew up?

Yes. His name
is Sergeant Jordan Wells.

He used to work
directly under Braun.

He might be the guy
we gotta talk to.

W-Why "might" be?

Well, he could be
the actual bomber,

or he's just a cop
who had business at lock-up

and was on the scene
when it happened because--

Because, what, he's a good cop,

and he just wanted
to be helpful?

Come on, what do you think?

I think I gotta
talk to Sergeant Wells,

figure out what he knows.

Okay, go do that. Be safe.

Don't do anything
I wouldn't do.

Is there something
you actually wouldn't do?

I realized that
when I said it. Okay?

Just... Just be careful.
Please.

[laughs] Yeah.

I got results from
the creek water we collected.

- Okay.
- It's contaminated,

but not by UFO radiation.

By what?

Oh. Xylan hemicellulose,

a hazardous chemical byproduct
of paper production.

Confirmation the mill
is dumping waste illegally.

Yeah, Paul must've
come across someone
dumping the chemicals.

They came at him.

He tried to fight them off
with the telescope,
but couldn't.

But that still doesn't explain

the lights and sounds
that Nolan saw.

He's convinced it was aliens.

That's what's so exciting!

- One of the properties
of hemicellulose...
- What do you mean?

...is that it reacts
to UV light.

[Nikki] Mm.

[Helen] It glows!

You know, Nolan described
every light he saw
by color temperature.

He knew the precise numbers
of each star in the sky

and light bulbs in this office.

But he said that he saw
a "green glow"

and a "purple light"
in the woods last night,

no color temperatures.

Ultraviolet light
isn't measured by temperature.

It's measured in wavelengths.

Maybe Nolan saw UV
in the woods.

Special lamps are often used
to spot dangerous chemicals.

For instance,

when you're dumping them
illegally in the dark woods.

We need to get the owner
of the paper mill back in here.

Great job, Helen!

[Nikki] Okay, talk to me.

- Yep?
- Okay, so, the DNA

that Helen pulled
off of the telescope

belongs to...

Steven Moore.

He did time at Allenwood
for manslaughter.

And now he has
a Class-C trucker's license

and works
for Rasp Pulp and Paper.

Pull up the employee records
that Jason sent over

- from the paper mill.
- Got you...

[keys clacking]

All right,
so it looks like Moore

is assigned to tanker truck 16.

It was clocked out
end of the day yesterday,

but it doesn't look like
there was a return logged.

Give me one second.

Tanker truck 16
never returned to the mill.

Can you track it?

Yes, I can.

I have the mill's
fleet-tracking GPS
from yesterday.

[Nikki] Okay, okay.

[Kemi] Looks like
someone stopped here
and disabled the GPS.

Tanker truck 16
went into the woods
and never came out.

And, uh, we know
that Paul hit Moore

with the telescope
by the creek.

So if we can find the truck...

...then Moore and Paul Miller
could still be with it.

Yeah, but we didn't see
any sign of a tanker.

I mean, if they drove
deep into the woods,

that's 30 square miles
of forest

that we're gonna
have to search.

In the dark,
and under a canopy of trees.

What a mess.

I have an idea.

[line ringing]

Hey, Jay? Yeah.

We think that Paul
is still in the woods.

Would you meet us
at Ridley Creek?

But we're gonna need
your friend,

you know, the eye in the sky?

Okay. So have him meet us there
with his full fleet,

and-and bring as many
UV lights as he can.

- Let's go, let's go.
- Got you.

[tense music playing]

Our missing person's
still out there.

So, we're gonna
blanket the forest

with UV lights from 20 drones.

Captain Batista!

Okay, let's go.

What--

What are you guys doing here?

We've been
driving around the forest.

I didn't know what else to do,
and-and Nolan insisted.

My dad's out there somewhere.

Nolan saw the lights
from the cars, so...

I mean, what's happening?

We think we know
how to find your husband.

[indistinct chatter]

Cody, I missed you, buddy.
How you been?

So what exactly
am I looking for,

and where exactly
is the $2,000 you promised me?

Oh, you're cash up front now?

I thought you do the thing
and then I pay ya afterwards.

Right? Right?

Thank you. Okay, um...

there's chemicals on
and around the truck

that glow green
when UV light hits 'em.

All right.

That's hopefully
where our guy is.

Kemi and I are gonna jump on
the bikes and head out there.

You can ride a bike, yes?

[scoffs] Try keepin' up, baby.

Okay.

She's got nuggets.
We could've used her in Kabul.

Yeah.

- All right, I'm gonna
go watch 'em go up.
- [Kemi] Yeah.

Initiating take-off now.

Step back.

Here we go.

Just watch, okay?

[dramatic music playing]

We're going to find your dad.

Wow!

[tense music playing]

- We good?
- Yeah.

All right.

So the UV lights
should be able to spot

the chemical signature
on the truck.

[Kemi] Hopefully,
that's where Paul is.

[Steve] Where are you?

[Rasp] There's cops everywhere,
you've gotta get out of there.

[Steve] I see lights
in the sky.

They're gonna find me.

You said I was just gonna
keep him out here till
you figured out what to do.

You were just supposed
to dump the sludge,
not kidnap somebody!

If the police find you,
the whole company goes under!

Guy saw me dumping,
hit me with something,
I hit him back.

He's almost dead already.

Can't I just leave him
in the truck to suffocate?

Can you help it along?

Get it done faster?

But not in the truck.

That will tie him
back to the mill.

Kill him?

In the creek.

Make it look like
he fell in and hit his head.

What about the truck?

Leave it. I'll...
I'll report it stolen tomorrow.

I can pay you.

Triple what I paid
to dump the sludge.

It's gonna cost
way more than that.

Whatever it takes.

[coughing]

[lock beeps]

You need
to get ahold of yourself.

You're not
thinking this through.

Relax.

Whatever Grant learns
from Barlowe,

it's a dead-end. We're fine.

Hold on.

[tapping keys]

They've been in my computer.

Yes, it's a problem.

[exhales tensely]

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

[thumps desk]

[ominous music playing]

[phone buzzing]

Wayne, I gotta call you back.

Mike! I...
I can't get ahold of Jay,
but something's happened.

Listen,
I'm at Jordan Wells' house,

the bomb squad cop.

He might be
the actual Maritz bomber.

He's been
building bombs at home.

I'll call you back.

[groans]

[breathing heavily]

[Cody] Not seeing anything.

[Jason] It's there. Keep going.

Come on.
You're getting outta here.

Come on!

Come on.

[groans]

That looks like
the outline of the creek.

What's that next to it?

Right there, right there.
Hold on. Right there.

That looks like it. That's it.

Okay. Coordinates, coordinates.

Sent it to your phones.

- All right, let's ride.
Let's ride.
- [Kemi] Beautiful.

[Jason] Tell Nikki
we're on our way.

[Cody] Copy that.

[tense music playing]

[engine starts]

[tense music playing]

[groaning]

[ominous music playing]

[groaning]

Steve Moore!

The longer you drag this out,

the worse
it's going to get for you.

[Kemi] Paul!

Paul, we're here
to take you home.

Call out if you can hear me.

- [struggling]
- [Paul] Help!

- Help!
- [Jason] Down, down, down!

[Kemi] Stay down. Stay down.

You're okay.

[groaning]

Hey, hey, hey. Relax, relax.

You're under arrest

for the kidnapping
of Paul Miller.

Jason. You good?

Yeah. You got some handcuffs?

Hey. [groans]

- Hi.
- I kept asking to see you.

They rushed you away
so quickly.

Captain Batista
had us meet you here.

- Are you hurt?
- I'm fine.

Nolan, guess what?

When I was out there
and the bad man had me,

I remembered
your wrist trick to escape.

You saved my life.

[gentle music playing]

It is moments like this
that make me love this job.

[both chuckle]

According to Helen,

it's more probable than not
that there's aliens out there.

Something about
"the basic elements of life."

I don't know,
maybe she's right.

Space is infinite,
infinite possibilities.

Well, in a universe
of infinite possibilities,

this was
the best possible outcome.

We'll give you guys a moment.

- Thank you.
- Of course.

- Thank you...
- Of course.

So you're a driver now?

[laughs] He is!

- So sweet.
- Coffee?

Yes, please.

- Hey, Nik.
- Hey.

How you doing?

You think MPU
could reimburse me
for a new phone or what?

[laughs] On top of the $2,000

for your very strange
drone guy? Uh-uh.

All right, I might be
able to salvage it.

- Let me take a look, yeah.
- Thank you.

[Kemi] Mm-hmm.

So, the hazardous waste team

said that the water
will dilute back to normal

as long as we stop the dumping.

All right, well,
I'm going to go put
some jewelry on Rasp.

The trucker ratted him out.

Uh, Rasp was paying him

to dump waste
from the paper mill

and then he freaked out
when Paul saw him dumping

and then Rasp
gave the kill order

when we were closing in.

EPA fines are one thing,
but conspiracy to murder,

that will put him away
for a while.

- Great work.
- Yep.

- You sure you don't want any?
- No, I can't.

Uh, you hear from Mike?

Not yet. Why?

[ominous music playing]

Where's that photo
that Wayne sent me?

It's the same trigger
from the Maritz bombing.

Who the hell are you?

Jordan Wells.

I'm Sgt. Mike Sherman,
Philly PD.

Do me a favor.
Put that weapon down.

What're you doing
in my work shed, Sgt. Sherman?

I know you're the one
that made that bomb
that killed John Maritz.

Who put you up to it?
Was it Braun?

Say his name,
we might be able
to get you a deal.

Cops live short,
miserable lives behind bars.

I get busted,
my family gets nothing.

No insurance.
No pension. Nothing.

When he told me
people were digging into
Logan Barlowe,

I figured this day would come.

When who told you? Braun?

This is the only way
to protect my family.

I'm no good to them
behind bars.

What are you doing?
Hey, take your hand
out of there slowly.

If I die
in an accidental explosion,

my ex gets taken care of.

My kids have a life.

- [beeping]
- Nothing personal,

but I can't leave you behind
to say this was anything
other than an accident--

- Don't do it.
- I'd do anything for my family.

- Don't do it.
- Just like Braun.
Family is everything.

[beeping]

[tense music playing]

[dialing]

- [line ringing]
- Oh, pick up, pick up.

Jason, I need you. He knows.

[typing rapidly]

[struggling]
